Aaaaand they make up without actually resolving or bringing up the issues. Again. :| We already knew she had severe relationship stuff, but bullshit is still bullshit. Faye doesn't get a pass because her dad shot himself in front of her and she had a mental breakdown; why does Dora get one because her friends used her to fuck her brother and previous boyfriends fucked her over? Is it because that was other people, not internal, and that somehow makes it just fucking fine for her to be paranoid about the nicest, most faithful guy on the planet? Yes, the use of vulgarity means I'm annoyed that she gets a pass again. :x
By the way, finally read some of the previous conversation. I'd add that as one of those guys who can't get past "talking to friend" mode to "talking to romantic interest" mode also have a hard time seeing why anyone would cheat on someone nice enough to be understanding of that and go out with them.
TheHappyBerry:
I'm glad things didn't go all horribly with yelling and screaming and crying. But all this "oh no, I'm not mad, we'll work this out, blah, blah, blah" won't work. The only reason Dora is feeling all remorseful is because Faye called her out on her shit. Marten doesn't have to go storming in and yelling at her, but if he isn't willing to at least admit when something makes him mad or upsets him, it doesn't matter how much work Dora is willing to put into getting better, it just won't work.
Graphite:
He did say, "It's something we've gotta fix", though. That implies that they're going to work on the issue in the future, but for this very instant he just wants to reassure her that he's not about to walk away from the relationship.
I find it pretty puzzling that Marten *isn't* mad, but hey, that's how he functions - he was mad, he thought about it, now he's calmly made a decision about it. It might help the situation if Dora had actually been allowed to see firsthand that Marten was mad, but she seems to be finally understanding, thanks to Faye's smackdown, that anger is reasonable in this situation and she was in the wrong, so I think that's what'll make the real difference here.
Moxie:
Yup, I'll join in on the crowd that's disappointed with this resolution that isn't really one at all. I'm mean, sure, tomorrow's comic might actually have them discuss stuff, but this... sigh.
Dora is just talking all about herself again.
And even when Marten's all "we have something to fix and you needed to listen" she's just all "not mad at me right?"/sad puppy face.
And Marten just lets her get away with it, while "confessing" his "transgressions" or whatever. Le sigh, le sigh.
Cartilage Head:
I have to say, the art in the most recent strip is very good.
